Getting excited - Snowmobile Forum: Your #1 Snowmobile Forum

Anyone getting excited for the first ride of the year yet? Anyone already ride? We just got our first snowfall of the year last night, not enough to ride, but its a start. Also started the sleds up this morning just to make sure everything was running alright. My indy 400 is running a little choppy, but I think I just need to put carbon cleaner in the gas. It runs fine, aslong and you're giving it power. It just doesn't want to idle. Any other ideas on what it could be? My Indy 440 is running like a gem, and I can't wait to get it out.

Could be plugged idle jets in the carburetors. Common if it sat for a while.

yeah, it sat for 2-3 years. So I'm thinking about just taking it in and having someone else clean the carbs...I'm not sure that's a task I want to take on.

Me too ... everytime I touch a carb I end up with "extra" left over parts

Happy turkey day to all!
